operation  contrasting valkyrie    
     in the sixties.  the  central    
  intelligence agency "cia" release   
   aerosolized  selatenine  over  a   
  jupiter equinox  concert, creating  
  the largest  secret paradigm shift  
   that the world  has ever seen.   
  
                                          
 the  jupiter equinox* concert is part of 
 a festival  in black tickle arranged  by 
 a group called  epicenter of love. there 
 is  no   entrance   but   visitors   are 
 expected to help  with maintenance. food 
 and  drink  is  shared. many  bands  are 
 playing  over the four day course of the 
 festival, and the stage is  open between 
 scheduled   concerts.   jupiter equinox, 
 while an  unknown act, has a prestigious 
 timeslot at eight in the evening on  the 
 third  day,  which  is  friday.       
                                          
 eight  is  also when  the  plane used to 
 spread  the   aerosol  lifts   off.   it 
 arrives at the festival  about a quarter 
 past,  sound  masked  by   the  concert. 
 around    when   the   first   wave   of 
 selatenine   must   have   reached   the 
 audience, the  song comes to a tense but 
 quiet  movement,  and  the  lead  singer 
 walks   to  the  front  of  the   stage. 
                                          
 she  says, with a  crystalline voice: "i 
 have something to  tell you. i am  not a 
 human being.  i am not  an  animal  or a 
 plant.  i have been  sent to  deliver  a 
 message to you. a message of  hope.  you 
 are not  alone.  there are other  beings 
 in  the  universe.  there  is  life  out 
 there,  life  that  is  reaching  out  a 
 hand. and  it's time  to take that hand. 
 to  reach out toward  that hand and grab 
 it it. it  is time to come home. you are 
 going  home.  you   are   going   home." 
                                          
 the  singer   stands  there  for  a  few 
 moments,  her  hand raised  in the  air, 
 before  the rest  of the  band  kicks in 
 and  the music  builds  to a  crescendo. 
 the  crowd  erupts. and  then  something 
 else  erupts  as  well.  a  concert-goer 
 describes  it:  "suddenly,   the   music 
 seams  broader,  more  colorful.  i  can 
 somehow see  it,  and i  feel the others 
 seeing it, and  i see  it  through their 
 eyes  as  well. meanwhile  i'm  dancing, 
 and i  can feel  my  body as i've  never 
 done  before,  i  am aware of each  cell 
 and  each  molecule,  all  vibrating  in 
 unison.  and  it's   all  going  faster, 
 building  up  to something,  waking up." 
                                          
 people  start forming  circles,  holding 
 hands  and  dancing.  some  are  crying. 
 some are laughing.  some are  screaming. 
                                          
 and  then -  a  flutter  - and something 
 gives.   a    shockwave   of   reversing 
 polarity   in   the   ether,   and  like 
 butterflies getting  hit  by a burst  of 
 wind, the third eye  opens for  everyone 
 in the audience. and it becomes  a chain 
 reaction,  quickly  spreading across the 
 festival area. within seconds  there  is 
 a   global   blackout.   festival  goers 
 regain  their  memories  around  a  week 
 later,  those  in  the  nearby  town  of 
 black tickle  after   a  few  days,   in 
 montreal for the  evening, the  rest  of 
 america  maybe  an  hour.           
                                          
 and  thus,  the   population   of  earth 
 has  kind  of  left  it's  materialistic 
 baseline,   only  that   most   do   not 
 remember                             it. 
                                          
                                          
  
  * there's an interesting aspect to  
   the  "jupiter equinox"  act.  it   
    seems  there   was  never  any    
  jupiter equinox concerts before or  
  after the one in black tickle. the  
   lead  singer  (also  colloquially  
  referred to as jupiter)  seemed to  
  immediately  disappear (for a long  
  while she was thought to have been  
   a cia  agent, but  a  later  foia  
  release refuted this). for obvious  
  reasons, many were looking for any  
   trace  of  the  band,  but  none   
   were fruitful.                     
                                      
  recently, however,  some attention  
  has been drawn to juniper helding,  
  a sixteen year old pop singer from  
  england  who  has a very  striking  
   similarity...
